Garage Door Spring Repair in Springfield & Dayton, OH
A broken garage door spring can leave your door stuck, unusually heavy, or unsafe to operate. Oakes Door Service provides garage door spring repair and replacement for residential and commercial customers in Springfield, Dayton, and surrounding communities. If you heard a loud bang and your door suddenly stopped working, a broken spring may be the reason.
What Garage Door Springs Do
Garage door springs counterbalance the weight of the door so the door can be raised and lowered properly. Springs experience repeated cycles as the door is used, so they eventually wear out. When a spring breaks or loses its ability to provide the correct amount of tension, the door may become difficult or impossible to open.
Signs You May Need Spring Repair
- The garage door will not open or is extremely difficult to lift.
- The door feels much heavier than normal.
- You hear a loud bang from the garage and the door stops operating correctly.
- A visible spring appears broken, separated or damaged.
- The door is no longer balanced or does not move smoothly.
Why Spring Repairs Should Be Left to a Professional
Garage door springs are under substantial tension. Attempting to remove, adjust or replace a spring without the proper tools and training can cause serious injury or additional damage. If you suspect a broken spring, keep people away from the door and contact Oakes Door Service for professional assistance.

Oakes Door Service works on both residential and commercial garage door systems. We can evaluate the spring and related components to determine whether a spring replacement or another repair is appropriate.
